School Segregation Ecological Analysis
Segregation Metrics
Unless otherwise noted, the segregation metric used across most of these analysis is the Normalized Exposure Index. Refer to the School Segregation Index Descriptive Report tab for more information on the various indices.
Ecological Correlation Matrices
Metro Elementary Schools
Note
The correlation matrix below shows elementary schools in the Twin Cities metro area with at least 50 students. Some of the PELSB measures are not available in 2003 so they were removed from the analysis for those years.
Metro Middle Schools
Note
The correlation matrix below shows middle schools in the Twin Cities metro area with at least 50 students. Some of the PELSB measures are not available in 2003 so they were removed from the analysis for those years.
Metro High Schools
Note
The correlation matrix below shows high schools in the Twin Cities metro area with at least 50 students. Some of the PELSB measures are not available in 2003 so they were removed from the analysis for those years.
In 2022, the typical (measured as a mean) Black child goes to a school that has X% free reduced lunch, and Y years of average teacher experience. In contrast, the typical white child goes to a school that has X% free reduced lunch, and Y years of average teacher experience.
How do you conceptualize “typical”? Did you just take the population weighted mean?
